00:00C'est parti !
00:30...by Benoit Mandelbrot.
00:32My work has consisted in one major good idea,
00:36the fractal geometry of nature.
00:38What Mandelbrot has done,
00:40he has made some sort of new geometry
00:42which made us able to describe the nature
00:45as we see it around us.
00:47So it made people think in a different way.
00:50Fractal geometry is a new language
00:52that has completely revolutionized
00:54the way that scientists look at and explore our world.
00:59Fractal geometry describes the apparently random forms
01:03that exist in nature like rivers, trees, the human body.
01:07To do science, you must describe nature.
01:10The language can be just words,
01:12it can be formulas, it can be shapes, many things.
01:16Fractal geometry provides the language.
01:18But he picked it up and saw immediately that nature
01:22for some reason has chosen this particular feature
01:26as a worthwhile technical help
01:30in accomplishing whatever nature tries to accomplish.
01:33And Benoit saw that very clearly.
01:36and he seems to have known it all
01:39when he became aware of how these different strands,
01:43how these different sources were playing together in a new way.
01:46That makes him unique.
01:48There is a very strong resemblance
01:50between the path of my life, my life orbit and my work.
01:55On any number of occasions in the past 30 years,
01:59Benoit has been first obviously wrong
02:03and then viewed as well sort of right
02:07and then people would finally say,
02:08well we knew that all along.
02:10There are people for example who think
02:12a mammal boat should get the Nobel Prize
02:14and I agree with that.
02:16Long ago as a young man,
02:18I had this romantic notion
02:20that what I would like to do
02:22was to find some aspects of the world around us
02:25which others would have not thought of.
02:29This hope has filled my whole life.
02:31In that sense, I feel extremely fortunate.
02:35He's a visionary.
02:36Now we can see fractals everywhere.
02:39every have.
